So our choice is between run-of-the-mill president or a guy who says he wants to a dictator, violently tried to overturn the last election, had fake electors etc. etc.

I'm not excited about Biden but the choice seems to be pretty straightforward and I'll be SURE to get to the polls.

They may both suck but Trump and party made abortions a lot harder to get, have made life a lot harder for Trans people, tried to stop the transfer of power and are undermining the nations confidence in elections. In addition, some are now trying to undermine a bi-partisan deal on border security to have a talking point at the ballot box.

Elections a lot of times are a vote for the lesser of two evils. And because the President gets to nominate Supreme Court justices it's critical to vote. every. time.

Saying 'they both suck' is a cop-out.

Curious, what model?

Henry Ford designed the Model T to be a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person. Volkswagon designed the Beetle to be a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person.

The first car company to design an EV that's a bare-bones vehicle affordable for the everyday person will sell lots of them. Profit per car may be lower but perhaps we need to set the need for maximum profits aside on this particular issue?

My raises aren't even CLOSE to keeping up with inflation. Rather hard to splurge on a fancy EV with tons of high-tech nice-to-have features that are just going to break anyway. All I need to do is to get from point A to point B and have AC, heat and a half-decent stereo system.

I've never understood why people go and shoot up schools when there's likely a conference for designers of major appliances just ASKING for it. /s

they need to turn off that fucking music

Can I keep Bluegrass music and older country artists like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash?

(Modern Country sucks.)

My wife got 50% off Lasik surgery in the early days of Groupon when they offered crazy deals. I thought it was really unwise to get eye surgery half-off. I'm usually a "you get what you pay for" kind of guy.

Turned out pretty well for her though.
